Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. categorize solids according to observed electronic, thermodynamic, chemical and mechanical properties.
2. describe the physical and transport behaviors observed in solid materials.
3. apply atomic and quantum models of matter to qualitatively describe those behaviors.
4. apply the mathematical formalism of those models to quantitatively describe the behavior of solids.
